side of his domestic ledger at the end Of
each week. House and lot together cost
the owner S, 1000, but by the increase of
real estate values it is worth at least
$500. The owner bought it on the in
stallment plan, making small payment
each month, which was almost nothing
above his rent. 1t required time and
patience, and there were months when
his nose and the grindstone of want
came nearly together, but thrift and
economy triumphed, and now he owns
the place, with its added value. This
plan is open to any wOrkingman who is
content with humble beginning and a
suburban home. 1t is plan which has
laid the foundation of more than one of
the comfortable fortunes now enjoyed
in this city.
The unpleasant feature is always
postponed until the last, but it comes
now. Every city has its homes of want,
poverty and suffering and Minneapolis
is not without share, though a small
one. Like the skeleton at the feast, the
howell will force itself into the range of
the palace. and the millionaire cannot
look from his turretS without surveying
the humble home. The sketch was
made from the flats" and to this local
ity is confined the aggregation of the
fourth typical class of dwelling places.
One may be found here and there
throughout the city, but they are the
exceptions which prove the rule. They
may be picturesque, but they are I'M
American and suggest want. This is
not the home of Minneapolis working
man. Such does not represent the con-
dition of the son of toll in the North
west. The matched cottage, with its
river front. its little dock and the heap
of mill wood is owned by the foreigner,
who is just taking his start in life in the
new world; but it is the fourth type of
Minneapolis homes and must go here.
In these four types of homes the birth
of the Christ child will be eommemor-
ated to-day. Who shall say where the
sweet season will be most acceptable?
The costly mechanical toys which will
to-day while away an hour for the pam
pered child of luxury may afford not
half the qualification produced by the
half-filled, mended stocking hanging
from the wall in the meanest cabin on
the fats. To palace and howell float the
same chimes of Christmas bells this
morning. and to both come the same
tidings of peace or earth and good will
to men.

and there are several right ways. But
the GLOBES way has ever been to avoid
the rut and routine, giving the pith of
the news in bright entertaining style to
please the millions. Its columns, instead
Of being loaded down with heavy essays,
sparkled with crisp, bright, special
articles, interesting as well to the
farmer or artisan, as to the banker or
capitalist. A discrimination of the news
that is offered, accepting the good and
bright and rejecting the stupid and
stale, has been a prominent feature OF
these columns. The result has been
that the GLOBE grows.
But better than all that.
The GLOBE has always been the paper
of the people. 1t has never set itself up
as the friend Of any class nor the expo
nent of any condition of life. 1t has been
edited by and for the people. There is
no elevated or exalted station in local
life but finds in the GLOBE matter that
will please and interest it; and there is
no walk in life, coHtentedly taken by
the mechanic with his dinner pail, but
finds interest and entertainment in its
columns. The GLOBE is the great COM
moner and knows no distinction of class
or creed. Being the peoples paper,
small wonder the people join in the re-
frain:
How the GLOBE grows.

duct their business in way that makes
friends of every one they have dealings

other places, perhaps at the seaside re-
sorts or inland spas, these cottages
would be termed villas, from their gen.
eral romantic design and ofttimes fam

is so novel and pleasing that numerous
are the instances in Minneapolis where
the homes of the wealthiest have been
built in villa style for the purpose of Sc
curing the odd and unique effects of its

pictured is chosen at random, and is
situated on First avenue south, in the
Eighth ward. Though the home of a

Vanish as swift as Nights dark clouds,

Across the skies and Dawn's glad portals

Blown far and wide by winds OF newborn

Of years gone by-for peace and joy 1 feel
When thou art near.
And, dear one, ii, while being far away
From me, some unknown sorrow come and

And pray to Him to send thee back to heal
The wounds which pain me, but no longer

McNair is a household word, while the
fine houses that line Park and Portland
avenues have been equally described
and pictured. There are new specimens
of the homes of wealth going up every
day and it is an easy matter to select
one that has the charm of novelty. For
this purpose is chosen the residence of
J. W. Johnson. at the corner of Stevens
avenue and Twenty-Second street. 1t
is in the Washburn district and only
across Stevens avenue from the home
of the 500 magnate. Unlike the latter,
however, it has not the air of public
institution and bears about it a
breath, at least, of dOmesticity.
finest and most attractive of the galaxy
of Minneapolis homes. Mr.. johnson was
a little difficult to please, and the plans
were altered several times and at con-
siderable expense to suit his fancy, the
result being that 100000 went into it
before il was completed. The engray-

stone, with elaborate carving and decor

French plate so characteristic of the
city. 1t is very cOmmOdiOuS mansion,
and the interior corresponds with the
exterior in richness and elegance. The
hardwood work is feature, and every
room is different in this respect. Birds
eye maple is used for the
parlors, mahogany for the halls
and antique oak for the
dining room. The library and
sitting rooms are finished in cherry and
the billiard and smoking rooms in
ebony. White ash, sycamore and cherry
are used in the chambers, and SATIN
wood in hadsome bOudOir. Ash is the
principal wood i'll the barn, which is as
handsome as many pretentiouS dwell
ing in the city. The entire building is
most elegantly finished, and is supplied
with every device modern science and
art have designed for comfort and con-
venience. Nearly two years were con-
sumed in the building, and it was only
last year that the grounds were i'm
proved and beautifed and the house
put to actual use. 1t is certainly
princeiy dwelling, and admirably typi-
fieS the home Of the Minneapolis man of
wealth.
For the second class the dwelling
selected is the charming and attractive
home of John NJ. Miller, at the inter-
section of Harmon place with Central
park. Situated on popular drive, in
one of the most beautiful locations in
the city, the house attracts general at
tentiOn-not on account of its richness
or extravaganza, but from the delicious,
creamy tone of the white stone and the
dazzling brightness of the plate glass.
